Stephanie Higgins is pro-choice and anti-gun
control. She believes that the city's government work
force should be decreased and would like to see more
money given to education. Education is a pet issue
with Higgins. She feels that the city's teachers need to be
more
accountable to their administration and would like to
see testing at crucial junctures in a student's
educational career.

Higgins has been an adamant supporter of women's
and gay rights. She also feels that the city has too
many people on welfare and would like to find ways to
get welfare recipients off of the welfare rolls and
into minimum wage jobs. Higgins would like to lower
the tax burden of businesses doing business in the
city while decreasing the taxes that all residents
pay.

During the last garbage strike, Higgins was
outspoken about the need to find ways to ensure that
the workers were performing their duties in a timely
fashion and was against raises for these city employees.
